Frequently asked questions

What areas do you serve?

McKinney and nearby towns in Collin, Denton and Grayson Counties: Anna, Melissa, Weston, Celina and Van Alstyne to the north; Princeton, New Hope, Lowry Crossing and Farmersville to the east; and Parker to the south.

Who does the work?

Independent local tree care professionals. Tree Trimming McKinney connects you with them. They visit, give you a price and do the work if you hire them.

Are estimates free?

Yes. The estimate costs nothing and there is no obligation to hire.

When is the best time to trim trees in North Texas?

Late fall through winter suits most trees. For oaks, avoid February through June, when beetles that spread oak wilt are most active. Dead or dangerous limbs can be removed any time.

Do I need to be home during the work?

Not always. Make sure gates are unlocked and pets are inside, and agree on the details at the estimate. Many homeowners like to be there at the start to confirm the plan.

What happens to the branches and wood?

Cleanup is usually included. Branches are chipped and hauled away, and you can often keep firewood or mulch. Confirm what's included on your estimate.

Should I top my trees to make them smaller?

No. Topping causes weak regrowth and decay. Crown reduction and thinning cuts make a tree smaller or lighter while keeping it healthy.

What if a tree falls on my house in a storm?

Get everyone to safety, stay away from downed power lines and call the utility if lines are involved. Take photos of the damage, then call (469) 590-4925 for removal.
